  • Page 13: Device Considerations Device Naming

    Device Naming The use of IP addresses can cause confusion; therefore, Crestron recommends that each AirMedia device be given a hostname that is easy for the user to remember. The IP address can be hidden from the on-screen display, which limits the amount of information presented to the user.
  • Page 14 The AirMedia application requires firewall rules to allow it to communicate with the AM-100 and AM-101 devices. Crestron recommends creating a rule for the application that allows all traffic to pass to the device. If the rule does not exist, the operating system prompts the user to add a rule. This may require administrator privileges.
